Players have 1 year of eligibility.
Voters can vote for as many players as they think are worthy, and no more of the "not a first-round HOF BS"
Any voter that votes for a player that earns less than 10% of the total vote loses voting privileges.

Start with the guys who are already in. There are more than 5 at every position. Start giving them their small plaques with interactive buttons so people can bypass them with ease or stop and take a listen.

Exactly. Wormy missed "I think cumbersome/overwhelming is a ****** way to celebrate the sport for the average fan."

IMO, the HOF needs to be something you can go thru in a couple of hours and not feel like you missed something or, if you choose, spend a weekend to dig really deep into the history of baseball. You can't do that with 300+ monuments. As I said, not many average fans know who Rizzuto is or why he's in the HOF but, if they see a prominent display, they will feel obligated to look for fear of missing something important. Then, when they're done, they realize they could have strolled right past and missed nothing. Give him a small plaque and an interactive button.

Phil Rizzuto, SS and broadcaster for the New York Yankees.

Then, if you hit the little button, you can get his stats and highlights. Hell, let James Earl Jones be the voice describing ****.

You've said you haven't been to the HOF. I've been twice. It's not that big and the "average" fan is not going to Cooperstown to see the HOF anyway. I certainly did not feel over-whelmed by things to see. If there were only 75 players in it, you would definitely feel cheated...at least I would.
